Club PA 2.0 has arrived! If you'd like to access some extra PA content and help support the forums, check it out at patreon.com/ClubPA

The image size limit has been raised to 1mb! Anything larger than that should be linked to. This is a HARD limit, please do not abuse it.

Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

While I am at work, I can't draw. But, I am going to claim a drawing that I will make when I get home, so, no one else can get it.

I am going to draw our primary wild game (still deciding what that should be but I am tempted to pick the majestic beaver) a good distance down The River from our settlement. This represents that we have to travel far from the village in order to find enough game to hunt due to its scarcity.

For the record, when I added The River, in my head it is not the only river in the area, just the largest and most important one. Also, what I drew on the map is not the full extent of The River, there are tributaries and whatnot that branch off. I just felt like adding all that to the map would be unnecessary clutter. I am just mentioning this to see if we are all on the same mental page, so to speak.

Four player max, unfortunately! I'll add you to my interest list, though, so if I start another one and/or someone drops out, you'll be notified.

Also, Winky - if you want to switch your resource over to fish, that's cool with me (and I assume everyone else). It'll be a scarcity, but I realised that you said you'd want to choose fish if they weren't covered by wild game.

I will stick with manpower. We, for whatever reason, just do not have the capacity to fish currently.

There’s another community somewhere on the map. Where are they? What sets them apart from you?-or-
What belief or practice helps to unify your community?

I'll go with the first option.

In the woods near the base of the elder mountains, the Forest Children make their home. They are a primal, savage group of people, living entirely off the land; they do not live as we do, in shelter from the elements. They have rejected the strands of civilisation we have held onto.

As for my action, I will Discover Something New. When on a fruitless attempt to scout out the empty hunting grounds for game, one of the hunters spots something on the other shore - footprints, almost ursine, but far larger than anything he'd seen before.

Jutting out into the sea along the coast lies the ruins of Fort Frontenac. When The Fall came, the military dogs hid behind their walls; they thought they were safe. They were wrong. All that remains is the stench of death. Some speak of military secrets beneath the base, others, of long forgotten booby traps and vengeful spirits.

As for my action, I would like to Hold a Discussion. But I am not entirely sure how that works, so, could you help walk me through that Simon?

All you have to do is frame a question, or make a statement. Each of us will then give a response of one or two sentences. If you asked a question, you get to give your own response to it after everyone else has had their say.

This information is all in that PM I sent you guys, so give that a read-through soonish, if you please!

Beetween the feral forest children, the jackals, the looming threat of a mass migration coming with the next winter, and the very worrying recent reports from the hunters, it would be a lie to say we are safe.

Perhaps we are too low on men to risk an expedition to Frontenac, but without armaments, it does not matter how many men we have.

I say we mount an expedition to Fort Frontenac.

(the rules say we should have everyone weigh in on project lengths, but what did you guys think - would it be easier and/or faster if we set some kind of "if X time has passed and X people have weighed in, current player should end turn" thread rule?)

A member of the Forest Children wanders into our village. We're rough with him at first, capturing him and demanding to know why he's here and what he wants. We are softer when we realize he is starving and weak. We're able to glean from him that the Forest Children took heavy losses during last winter's unusually strong frost, with no shelter or warmth to protect themselves. Many of them died, and many more were scattered and lost, as he was. The Forest Children have always been savage and hostile in the past, but now that they're weakened they may be much more pliable.

I want to hold a discussion:

I propose we send an envoy to offer warmth and shelter here in our village to the struggling Forest Children in return for their manpower and knowledge of wild game.

You see a good omen. What is it?-or-
You see a bad omen. What is it?

One of our goats gave birth, but the offspring came out wrong - twisted, multi-headed, with its flesh turned inside-out and blacked. It was burned quickly, but the Speakers warn that this is surely an omen of corruption and evil to come to our community.

The hunting project has been completed - Abdhyius, please tell us the outcome of that.

I've also changed the map slightly, moving the red discussion dots to the side of the place they related to. I think it's slightly cleaner than potentially having multiple dots on one thing.

(I've added some rough guidelines for size of words in the OP - nothing new, just cementing what has already been said in various places)
